Blue Fire: Red Rain, Book 5

by Robin Patchen, Rachel Newhouse, Sybil Johnson (Narrator)

I didn’t mean to kill my father.

The year is 2076. Earth is ruled by a one-world government. In order to maintain unity, all citizens must deny their national, racial, and religious identities—or suffer the consequences.

After her rash decision leaves her father cryogenically frozen, 17-year-old Philadelphia Smyrna races to hack the machine and thaw him before the damage is permanent. Stranded on Earth and wanted by the government, she calls on her father’s old contacts and uncovers the truth she was never meant to Dr. Smyrna was an insurrectionist. He was the mastermind behind a plot to end the government's religious intolerance, before a tragic mistake killed his wife. Now the rebellion plans to finish the job and liberate the “unassimilated” once and for all. And they want Philadelphia to take her father's place.

Blue Fire is the fifth book in the RED RAIN series, a fast-paced Christian sci-fi adventure that’s perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and LEFT BEHIND.

About the author

Robin Patchen is a USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of Christian romantic suspense. She grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, the setting of her Nutfield Saga books, and then headed to Boston to earn a journalism degree. After college, working in marketing and public relations, she discovered how much she loathed the nine-to-five ball-and-chain. After relocating to the Southwest, she started writing her first novel while she homeschooled her three children. The novel was dreadful, but her passion for storytelling didn’t wane. Thankfully, as her children grew, so did her writing ability. Now that her kids are adults, she has more time to play with the lives of fictional heroes and heroines, wreaking havoc and working magic to give her characters happy endings. When she’s not writing, she’s editing or reading, proving most of her life revolves around the twenty-six letters of the alphabet.
